The dunking sensation from Virginia also was recruited by Georgetown.

Rutgers basketball’s breakthrough 2018 recruiting class just took a hit.

Mac McClung, the Virginia point guard best known as a YouTube dunking sensation, reneged on his verbal commitment to the Scarlet Knights on Friday.

“I would like to thank the Rutgers coaching staff for all the opportunities they have given me, but after careful consideration I have decided to reopen my recruitment,” McClung tweeted, adding that he would not be doing any interviews.

The move comes as a surprise because McClung visited campus last weekend along with fellow 2018 pledges Montez Mathis and Ron Harper. They attended the first full practice and ensuing MidKnight Madness festivities.

When he pledged in early August, the 6-foot-1 McClung was being recruited by Georgetown and several mid-major programs.

Rutgers now has an open scholarship for 2018. The pledges from Mathis and Harper become iron-clad during the National Letter of Intent signing period, Nov. 8-15.
